    defrag your computer. defragging should be under...

    start>all programs>accessories>sytem tools>Disk Defragmenter

    and do disk cleanup! Good luck!

    Oh and it could be your computer programming. Do you have xp, windows me, 98, 200, or vista?

    Using a registry cleaner can clean up your computer and then make your computer faster,Why?the reason is that there may be some registry errors and remnant,corrupt files and temp files in your computer to cause "computer slow".

    Every time you install and uninstall software on your computer and surfing online you create junk in the computer registry.over time, the registry can grow to enormous proportions, especially if the various programs you've installed do not do a good job of deleting and/or updating it's Registry entries.You need to scan and clean your computer with registry cleaner to make it fast.Good Registry Cleaner will improve your computer and Internet performance dramatically!

    There are some comparison and review of TOP 5 registry cleaners.

    you can try doing a disk cleanup. i have sims2 also and its superr slow. but if i restart my computer before i run it sometimes it goes faster. but really its just a large program.

    Do a disk cleanup and defragmentation. If that doesn't work get more RAM and a better video card.

    check the system requirements and then your PC's. it might not be good enough. you might need to upgrade your PC with a better video card, Processor, and Power supply.
